Wow! What an amazing curriculum the leaders have put forward for our youth! I've been studying the Come Follow Me manual and love the way it is set up. When it first came out, I thought, "What can I do for handouts?" I really didn't have an answer because I don't know what your Young Women need. So I decided to come up with this solution:

Each month I will do a post for each of the outline questions. Each post will contain:
1. The topic
2. The outline question
3. New handouts for each outline (scriptures, quotes, etc.)
4. Old handouts from the old manuals that you might use to teach if they apply (I've gone through and cross-referenced each lesson from the 3 old manuals)

This way, you will have options to go with the lessons that you will use, in the way that will benefit you. Of course, if you have a special quote that you would like to use, email me in advance, and I will add it. I will try to have each month posted at least 2 weeks in advance so you can prepare your lessons! Good luck and enjoy!!

I originally posted this idea, but since have changed a lot! This is the story:

My mother-in-law introduced me to doing the 12 Days of Christmas a completely new way. Purchase a nativity with 12 pieces or one in which you can add to (like a crèche or a star). Every night for 12 nights place a piece in a basket outside the door, or you can give them all together with instructions to open one a night. We found these chocolate molds and we make chocolate nativities. It's a lot cheaper than buying a big nativity each year and we can do more than one family. Other ideas may be doing ornaments with each of the pieces.

If you want to give baby Jesus on Christmas day, start on Dec. 14. If you want to give baby Jesus on Christmas eve, start on Dec. 13.

Here are the pictures to give with each piece. Each has a little poem with it. There are more than 12 here, so pick the ones that match your nativity. I would love to hear how you are using these!
